Haven't noticed before... but aparently you know how to add civilians walking around in your maps NJM? 

[njm1983]

yup. There is a script that tells units on a certain team to wander around

Awesome, I love that =)

Very good, oh and btw did you know that you can easily make a mini map with Photoshop? Not the crapy black and blue WB one?

[njm1983]

Yes I do know, thanks. I just wait until after the map is completely finished to do so.

I also noticed that the map has build plots, is this going to be the case with all siege maps?

[njm1983]

Yes.

Cool

Giving the map a major overhaul. looking at some of the great city scape maps around here and the taking some inspiration from the LOTR online pelargir. I felt like the map was too generic and flat. So using the Pelargir map from LOTR online I incorporated more of a river delta into the city. Added more bridges and also incorporated raised terrain for the center Isle, as well as the isles that have bridges to it. This way the city has a more layered look and seem as if built upon living terrain. Ancient sities used terrain and built upon it rather than just sculpted away until it was flat and perfect. Im also going to re incorporate the capturable docks and utalize shallow water areas made to look as a part of a wet/dry dock areas.

Glad you're keeping busy =)

[njm1983]

Oh ya. Keeping busy for sure. Not that much time goes into mapping lately. But this is turning into something that is interesting.

[Nazgûl]

Well, when you guys work on the mod, it gives me inspiration as well =)

My favorite detail is that central courtyard tree.  It is not easy to mesh textures in a circle like that, and make them look natural.  And you certainly did.  Spiffing!
